A perfect way to enter back into the blogging game – Amerigo Gazaway’s new single Indivisible. So much time and thought went into a song that both uplifts and challenges. Every time we see another atrocious hate crime, a death by racist cops or rednecks, and everything inbetween, eventually our pain, hurt, and anger cannotContinue reading “Amerigo Gazaway Challenges Systematic Racism In New Single ‘Indivisible’”
Aced Spade can do it all. Produce, make instrumental projects, and flip well known tracks into, what sounds like, a totally new track altogether. This is the case with his latest, BNW (Brand New Whip). He’s taken Lil Baby & Drake’s Yes Indeed and added an ethereal, woozy, vibe-heavy element that is far from theContinue reading “Aced Spade – BNW (New Track) (FFD Premiere)”
Neak and Since9ine6ix’s pen game is as sharp as a sword. Their latest collaborative piece, AbstracT, is the most impressive track I’ve heard this year. Why?

I LOVE instrumental albums, and Jawn Stockton & Swoope made an excellent one. I always wonder how a producer chooses titles for certain tracks, but with Serene, the mystery was gone. Each one made sense to me, but of course they are open to interpretation. I found that to be one of the greatest elementsContinue reading “Jawn Stockton & Swoope Drop Beautiful Yet Complex Instrumental LP ‘Serene’”
Sqreeb is all you could want in a modern-day hip hop producer. The Montreal native cuts-up samples in the vein of pioneer beatsmiths such as DJ Premier but uses elements of this generation’s digitalized programming such as Pro Tools and Fruity Loops. All of this is to say that his September full length, Cross The Border, isContinue reading “Sqreeb Makes A Connection Between Canada and the U.S On Instrumental Project ‘Cross The Border’”
Illect Recordings is at it again, hosting Sareem Poems’ latest single Kick’n It. Sareem was once a student of hip hop, and while he continues to sharpen his pen and evolve, he is leaps and bounds ahead of the youngins of the SoundCloud universe. Kick’n It is an ideal representation of Sareem’s introduction to the genre as aContinue reading “Sareem Poems’ Takes A Nostalgic Trip Back To His Hip Hop Childhood”
I love playing instrumental projects on Saturdays. I wake up and immediately make coffee, sit down, and either read music editorials or do some work while soaking in the sounds. When the sun is starting to go down in the afternoon, and I’m on my 4th cup of coffee, I’m in the mood for someContinue reading “A Broke Ass White Boy Displays Overwhelming Talent on New Instrumental Album ‘A Beat Is Worth A Thousand Words’”
